    Inventories

    In 2023, we recorded charges of $1.83 billion to cost of goods sold to write down the carrying value of work in process and finished goods inventories to their estimated net realizable value ("NRV"). The impact of inventory NRV write-downs for each period reflects (1) inventory write-downs in that period, offset by (2) lower costs in that period on the sale of inventory written down in prior periods. The impacts of inventory NRV write-downs are summarized below:

    2nd Qtr.1st Qtr.2nd Qtr.Six months endedFebruary 29,2024November 30,2023March 2,2023February 29,2024March 2,2023Provision to write down inventory to NRV$--$--$(1,430)$--$(1,430)Lower costs from sale of inventory written down in prior periods382605--987--$382$605$(1,430)$987$(1,430)

    Income Tax

    For the first quarter of 2024, we recorded tax expense based on actual first quarter results, as small changes in our projected pre-tax income cause significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate. With our improved fiscal 2024 outlook, we can now estimate a more reliable annual effective tax rate and have reverted to a global annual effective tax rate method. The second fiscal quarter tax benefit arises from applying this estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date results.

    MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES(In millions, except per share amounts)2nd Qtr.1st Qtr.2nd Qtr.February 29,2024November 30,2023March 2,2023GAAP gross margin$1,079$(35)$(1,206)Stock-based compensation806741Other454Non-GAAP gross margin$1,163$37$(1,161)GAAP operating expenses$888$1,093$1,097Stock-based compensation(129)(115)(95)Restructure and asset impairments----(86)Patent cross-license agreement gain200----Other--14--Non-GAAP operating expenses$959$992$916GAAP operating income (loss)$191$(1,128)$(2,303)Stock-based compensation209182136Restructure and asset impairments----86Patent cross-license agreement gain(200)----Other4(9)4Non-GAAP operating income (loss)$204$(955)$(2,077)GAAP net income (loss)$793$(1,234)$(2,312)Stock-based compensation209182136Restructure and asset impairments----86Patent cross-license agreement gain(200)----Other2(10)8Estimated tax effects of above and other tax adjustments(1)(328)141Non-GAAP net income (loss)$476$(1,048)$(2,081)GAAP weighted-average common shares outstanding - Diluted1,1141,1001,091Adjustment for stock-based compensation20----Non-GAAP weighted-average common shares outstanding - Diluted1,1341,1001,091GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share$0.71$(1.12)$(2.12)Effects of the above adjustments(0.29)0.170.21Non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share$0.42$(0.95)$(1.91)

    (1) As described in the Income Tax note above, the second fiscal quarter tax benefit arises from applying our estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date results. A portion of this benefit is included in our non-GAAP net income, with a larger benefit in our GAAP net income. The divergence between the GAAP and non-GAAP amounts of this tax benefit relates to the difference in our GAAP and non-GAAP estimated annual effective tax rates, which are computed separately.

    RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES, Continued2nd Qtr.1st Qtr.2nd Qtr.February 29,2024November 30,2023March 2,2023GAAP net cash provided by operating activities$1,219$1,401$343Expenditures for property, plant, and equipment(1,384)(1,796)(2,205)Payments on equipment purchase contracts(26)(56)(29)Proceeds from sales of property, plant, and equipment133317Proceeds from government incentives1498562Investments in capital expenditures, net(1,248)(1,734)(2,155)Adjusted free cash flow$(29)$(333)$(1,812)

    The tables above reconcile GAAP to non-GAAP measures of gross margin, operating expenses, operating income (loss), net income (loss), diluted shares, diluted earnings (loss) per share, and adjusted free cash flow. The non-GAAP adjustments above may or may not be infrequent or nonrecurring in nature, but are a result of periodic or non-core operating activities. We believe this non-GAAP information is helpful in understanding trends and in analyzing our operating results and earnings. We are providing this information to investors to assist in performing analysis of our operating results. When evaluating performance and making decisions on how to allocate our resources, management uses this non-GAAP information and believes investors should have access to similar data when making their investment decisions. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures increase transparency by providing investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enabling enhanced comparison of our operating results between periods and with peer companies. The presentation of these adjusted amounts varies from amounts presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to amounts reported by other companies. Our management excludes the following items in analyzing our operating results and understanding trends in our earnings:

    Stock-based compensation;Gains and losses from settlements;Restructure and asset impairments; andThe estimated tax effects of above, non-cash changes in net deferred income taxes, assessments of tax exposures, certain tax matters related to prior fiscal periods, and significant changes in tax law.

    Non-GAAP diluted shares are adjusted for the impact of additional shares resulting from the exclusion of stock-based compensation from non-GAAP income (loss).

The guidance does not incorporate the impact of any potential business combinations, divestitures, additional restructuring activities, balance sheet valuation adjustments, strategic investments, financing transactions, and other significant transactions. The timing and impact of such items are dependent on future events that may be uncertain or outside of our control.

    Inventories

    In 2023, we recorded charges of $1.83 billion to cost of goods sold to write down the carrying value of work in process and finished goods inventories to their estimated net realizable value ("NRV"). The impact of inventory NRV write-downs for each period reflects (1) inventory write-downs in that period, offset by (2) lower costs in that period on the sale of inventory written down in prior periods. The impacts of inventory NRV write-downs are summarized below:

    Income Tax

    For the first quarter of 2024, we recorded tax expense based on actual first quarter results, as small changes in our projected pre-tax income cause significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate. With our improved fiscal 2024 outlook, we can now estimate a more reliable annual effective tax rate and have reverted to a global annual effective tax rate method. The second fiscal quarter tax benefit arises from applying this estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date results.

    MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES(In millions, except per share amounts)2nd Qtr.1st Qtr.2nd Qtr.February 29,2024November 30,2023March 2,2023GAAP gross margin$1,079$(35)$(1,206)Stock-based compensation806741Other454Non-GAAP gross margin$1,163$37$(1,161)GAAP operating expenses$888$1,093$1,097Stock-based compensation(129)(115)(95)Restructure and asset impairments----(86)Patent cross-license agreement gain200----Other--14--Non-GAAP operating expenses$959$992$916GAAP operating income (loss)$191$(1,128)$(2,303)Stock-based compensation209182136Restructure and asset impairments----86Patent cross-license agreement gain(200)----Other4(9)4Non-GAAP operating income (loss)$204$(955)$(2,077)GAAP net income (loss)$793$(1,234)$(2,312)Stock-based compensation209182136Restructure and asset impairments----86Patent cross-license agreement gain(200)----Other2(10)8Estimated tax effects of above and other tax adjustments(1)(328)141Non-GAAP net income (loss)$476$(1,048)$(2,081)GAAP weighted-average common shares outstanding - Diluted1,1141,1001,091Adjustment for stock-based compensation20----Non-GAAP weighted-average common shares outstanding - Diluted1,1341,1001,091GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share$0.71$(1.12)$(2.12)Effects of the above adjustments(0.29)0.170.21Non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share$0.42$(0.95)$(1.91)

    (1) As described in the Income Tax note above, the second fiscal quarter tax benefit arises from applying our estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date results. A portion of this benefit is included in our non-GAAP net income, with a larger benefit in our GAAP net income. The divergence between the GAAP and non-GAAP amounts of this tax benefit relates to the difference in our GAAP and non-GAAP estimated annual effective tax rates, which are computed separately.

    RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES, Continued2nd Qtr.1st Qtr.2nd Qtr.February 29,2024November 30,2023March 2,2023GAAP net cash provided by operating activities$1,219$1,401$343Expenditures for property, plant, and equipment(1,384)(1,796)(2,205)Payments on equipment purchase contracts(26)(56)(29)Proceeds from sales of property, plant, and equipment133317Proceeds from government incentives1498562Investments in capital expenditures, net(1,248)(1,734)(2,155)Adjusted free cash flow$(29)$(333)$(1,812)

    The tables above reconcile GAAP to non-GAAP measures of gross margin, operating expenses, operating income (loss), net income (loss), diluted shares, diluted earnings (loss) per share, and adjusted free cash flow. The non-GAAP adjustments above may or may not be infrequent or nonrecurring in nature, but are a result of periodic or non-core operating activities. We believe this non-GAAP information is helpful in understanding trends and in analyzing our operating results and earnings. We are providing this information to investors to assist in performing analysis of our operating results. When evaluating performance and making decisions on how to allocate our resources, management uses this non-GAAP information and believes investors should have access to similar data when making their investment decisions. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures increase transparency by providing investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enabling enhanced comparison of our operating results between periods and with peer companies. The presentation of these adjusted amounts varies from amounts presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to amounts reported by other companies. Our management excludes the following items in analyzing our operating results and understanding trends in our earnings:

    Stock-based compensation;Gains and losses from settlements;Restructure and asset impairments; andThe estimated tax effects of above, non-cash changes in net deferred income taxes, assessments of tax exposures, certain tax matters related to prior fiscal periods, and significant changes in tax law.

    Non-GAAP diluted shares are adjusted for the impact of additional shares resulting from the exclusion of stock-based compensation from non-GAAP income (loss).

    (1) GAAP earnings per share based on approximately 1.11 billion diluted shares and non-GAAP earnings per share based on approximately 1.14 billion diluted shares.

    The tables above reconcile our GAAP to non-GAAP guidance based on the current outlook. The guidance does not incorporate the impact of any potential business combinations, divestitures, additional restructuring activities, balance sheet valuation adjustments, strategic investments, financing transactions, and other significant transactions. The timing and impact of such items are dependent on future events that may be uncertain or outside of our control.
